The time has come again for Liberal Youth Scotland to elect its leaders. On the 26th March in Perth, venue and time will be announced closer to the time we will elect our new office bearers for 2011 – 2012.
It has been a great privilege to have led Liberal Youth Scotland for the last year and a half from when I was first co-opted into the position in January 2010 and then elected formally in March 2010. During the last administration we have seen Liberal Youth Scotland build upon its success, passing the Equal Marriage Rights motion at Spring Conference 2010, seeing an increase of the membership after the Coalition Government was formed, have held the federal party to account when needed and are working closely with the Scottish Party to ensure that we tackle Scotland’s lost generation of skills and talents.
Any member of the Scottish Liberal Democrats under 27, or are 27-29 and have paid the requested fee to the party, is eligible to stand and vote in these elections, unless you have served more two terms as President, in which case you may not stand for either President or either of the Vice-President positions.
